Scheduled actions are supported only in record-change processes and event processes. The scheduled time depends on the type of schedule, whether the field changed, and whether the process was deactivated.

Important Support and updates for Process Builder have ended as
of December 31, 2025. This means that support won't be provided for any process and bugs in
the Process Builder product won't be fixed. See Workflow Rules & Process Builder End of Support.
After December 31, 2025, existing processes continue to run, and you can activate, deactivate, and edit them; however, we recommend using Flow Builder. To migrate existing processes, plan your switch to Flow Builder and use the Migrate to Flow tool. For new automations, create flows in Flow Builder.
- Process Schedule Limitations
Before you add a schedule to a process, understand the limits and what isn’t supported. - How Does Salesforce Process Scheduled Actions?
Understand the expected behavior for processing scheduled actions based on which type of schedule they’re associated with, whether the field changed, and whether the process was deactivated. - Transactions and Scheduled Actions
Immediate actions in processes are executed in the same transaction as the operation that triggered the process, such as when a user creates or edits a record. Scheduled actions are included in a separate transaction.
